Patented Oct. 20, 1936 COMBINATION FLASK AND CUP Hiram G. McCarty,Cleveland, Ohio Application June 5, 1936, Serial No. 83,613 g 2 Claims.

My invention relates to a combination flask and cup, and in particularto a flask, preferably of glass, having a cup removably mounted there-One object is to provide a means whereby a cup or glass may be heldwithin the neck of the flask without attachment thereto but in whichnevertheless the flask will be sealed against leakage of its contents.

A further object is to provide a simple structure having a minimum ofinterlocking or screwed parts.

Further objects and advantages may be noted from the specification andits accompanying illustrations, in which:

Fig. l is an elevation of the flask with the cap screwed on the neck.

Fig. 2 is an elevation of the flask with the cap removed.

Fig. 3 is a section on line 3-3 of Fig. 1 with the cup or glass mountedwithin the neck of the flask.

Fig. 4 is an enlarged sectional view of the cup or glass.

Fig. 5 is an enlarged sectional view of a modified form of the cup orglass. 7

Referring to the drawing: A hollow body I0 comprising a neck II has aflange I2 outwardly disposed therefrom centrally of said neck, and anexternally threaded portion I3 adjacent the flange I2 and toward theouter end of said neck A seat I4 within the body III has an opening I5therethrough connecting the hollow interior Illa of the body II! withthe orifice I la within the neck II.

A resilient washer I6 is superimposed upon the seat I4 and a cup orglass I1 is inverted thereon; a second resilient washer I8 issuperimposed over the cup or glass ll adjacent the annular flanged baseIQ of the cup or glass l'l, so that saidresilient washer I8 is confinedbetween the annular flanged base l9 of the cup or glass l1 and the topsurface of the neck II.

Another resilient washer 20 is mounted over the neck II adjacent to anddirectly above the flange I2 on said neck II and a cap 2| is internallythreaded at 22 and is screwed'down upon the threaded portion I3 of theneckl I.

Thus when the flask is filled with liquid 23, the 5 cup or glass I1 isinverted and placed within the neck II, seating upon the resilientwasher l8 mounted on the seat I4 of the body Ill. The cap 2| is thenscrewed down upon the threaded portion I 3 of the neck II, the resilientwashers I 6, I8 and20 forming a triple seal for the liquid within thecontainer.

' A modified form of cup or glass 25 is shown in Fig. 5. The materialused for this structure is pref- 15 n erably of glass, but it may bemade of any suitable material'such as metals of different kinds,porcelain, or earthenware and it may be spun, cast, moulded or drawn; Ido not desire to confine the details of my invention to the precise 20structure shown but to elaborate andmodiiy within the scope of theinvention.

I claim: I

l. The combination of a container having a' a neck provided with aninternal seat and an ex- 26 ternal flange and thread, gaskets onthe seatand the flange, an inverted' cup fitting within the neck, with its rimresting on the gasket on the seat, and a-cap screwed on the neck andagainst the gasket on the flange and bearing against the .3 v

base of the cup to press its rim against the gasket on the seat. 7 g jv2. The combination of a container having a neck and an internal seat atthe junction of the neck with the body of the containerjthe .neck havingan external thread and a flange below said thread, an inverted removablecup'fitting within the neck and having an enlarged base, agasketconfined between the rim of the cup and the seat, another gasketconfined between the enlarged 40 base of the cup and the outer end ofthe neck, a cap screwed on the neck and against the base of the cup, anda gasket confined'between the cap and the flange.
